Configuring the UDC Module,
Regulator Type, and Parameters
The Rack Configurator application in the AutoMax Programming Executive is used to
configure the modules in a rack. Using the Rack Configurator, you create a graphical
representation of the actual modules in the rack. See the AutoMax Programming
Executive instruction manual for more information on configuring racks.
You can access the Rack Configurator by selecting the Configure Rack option from
the Rack menu of the System Configurator. An empty AutoMax rack will be displayed
initially.
2.1 Adding a Universal Drive Controller (UDC) Module
The UDC module may be placed in any slot in an AutoMax rack that contains at least
one AutoMax processor module (M/N 57C430A, 57C431, or 57C435). Note that the
UDC module cannot be used in a remote I/O rack. The rack does not require a
Common Memory module (M/N 57C413 or 57C423) unless more than one AutoMax
Processor is being used. A rack may contain up to ten UDC modules.
Some AutoMax modules,e.g., the Common Memory module and the Ethernet©
Interface module, may have an effect on the slot allocation in the rack that limits
where other modules may be inserted. See the appropriate instruction manual for
additional information. A UDC module may also be placed in a rack containing a set
of the AutoMax drive controller modules (B/M57401, 57405, 57406, and 57408).
Use the following procedure to add a UDC module to a rack. Refer to figure 2.1.
Step 1. Select an empty slot in the rack.
Step 2. Select Add from the Configure menu. A dialog box listing the available
modules will be displayed on the screen.
Step 3. Select the UDC module.
